Lianshan Lotus Root

Lianshan Lotus Root

　　Lotus root belongs to the water lily family and is an aquatic perennial herbaceous plant, also known as lotus rhizome. It is rich in starch, protein, vitamins B and C, carbohydrates, as well as various minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that eating raw lotus root can cool the blood, remove blood stasis, relieve irritability and thirst, stop bleeding, and strengthen the stomach. When cooked, it can nourish the heart and kidneys, enrich yin and blood, invigorate the spleen and appetite, and promote overall health and vitality, making it a health food for autumn and winter. If fresh, tender lotus root is mashed and juiced, then mixed with sugar and cold boiled water, it can help clear the heart and moisten the lungs.

　　Lianshan lotus root has a pale yellow skin with a rust-like hue. Its characteristics include large stems, perfectly round bodies, and an attractive appearance. Typically consisting of 3–4 sections, each weighs between 1–3 kilograms. The flesh is tender, white, and crisp, with a sweet and fragrant taste when eaten raw. When cooked, it becomes fluffy, loose, fragrant, sweet, and delicious, with a strong lotus root aroma and a unique flavor that is highly favored by consumers. Lianshan lotus root has been certified as pollution-free.
